What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home?The lack of walls to define different areas was a challenge for me. Having one room function as a kitchen, bedroom, living room, and office without looking like a junk shop is something I continue to struggle with. I've grown to love the flexibility that an open space provides because I am able to change the entire apartment on a whim. The North Carolina state surplus store and various IKEA storage units have helped me with organizing and cataloging my collections.
